Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Wednesday that the war against Iran was “far from over,” warning that the Israeli military remained ready to strike Iranian targets with “great force.”
His comments came after US President Donald Trump said Washington would continue to hit Iran hard following overnight attacks on Iranian targets following the downing of a US Apache helicopter over the strait of Hormuz.
“The campaign against Iran is far from over,” Katz said at an event cited by the daily Yedioth Ahronoth.
“The IDF is ready to strike Iran with great force,” he added.
According to him, the regional landscape is currently experiencing “major changes”.
“The Middle East is changing before our eyes,” he said. “If Iran attacks Israel, it will suffer a severe blow, as was the case a few days ago. HAS”
Israel and Iran exchanged strikes this weekend after Israeli attacks on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, before a decline in hostilities.
The region remains under high tension since the United States and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran at the end of February, provoking Iranian retaliation against Israel and other countries in the region hosting American installations.
A temporary ceasefire was agreed on April 8, but negotiations subsequently stalled due to disputes over its implementation and subsequent regional developments.
